An exploration of Christian spirituality with a touch of hilarity along the way. Well hopefully it will be entertaining. This is a blog of the female variety but written for all. Welcome to anyone searching for God, entertainment... or... who just likes reading blogs. Just so you know this is not an academic blog but an exploration of spirituality. This is the world of Jo.

Gargoyles always seem to amuse me - but then I'm easily humoured. Designed to stop the rain water from the roof falling directly onto the stonework below. Designed to look evil or at least menacing to remind us that evil can be found outside of the church or cathedral and not inside it or perhaps to ward off evil spirits.

These were all taken at Gloucester Cathedral. It was a beautiful sky that day.

I'm back! Sorry I've been gone for a while but life has got in the way of blogging. Something to do with living in Gloucestershire and pastoring a church in Burton Upon Trent and the 105 miles in between.

I ventured into Derby for the first time the other week and made the mistake of parking in a 'car park' in Crompton Street only to be clamped for 'being over the designated bay'. I dispute this as only one tyre was on the white line. As as certain tennis player would say, 'You cannot be serious... the ball was on the line!' Here is the picture to prove it.... and a cartoon that caught my eye from asboJesus that seemed to strike a chord. Lol (laugh out loud). http://asbojesus.wordpress.com.
